HF787 - Rule 1: Do not March on Moscow!
Trådtittelen er et sitat fra feltmarskalk Bernard Montgomery, som uttalte noe slikt ved minst to anledninger:
Rule 1, on page 1 of the book of war, is: "Do not march on Moscow". Various people have tried it, Napoleon and Hitler, and it is no good. That is the first rule. I do not know whether your Lordships will know Rule 2 of war. It is: "Do not go fighting with your land armies in China". It is a vast country, with no clearly defined objectives.
- House of Lords, 30. mai 1962
The United States has broken the second rule of war. That is: don't go fighting with your land army on the mainland in Asia. Rule One is, don't march on Moscow. I developed those two rules myself.
